17 morgues, by the victims’ next of kin, of the remains of the inmates who died in the armed attack against the Prison of Castro Castro, and the indifference of the state authorities. As stated by the Court in the present Judgment, "(...) The testimonies included in the body of evidence coincide when they state that an additional element of suffering was the fact of being [the mothers and next of kin] in that situation of uncertainty and despair on ‘Mother’s Day’ (Sunday May 10, 1992).” (para. 338) 65. Beyond the circumstances of the cas d'espèce, the gender analysis has contributed, in general, to reveal the systematic nature of discrimination against women, and the affirmation of women’s rights (cf. infra), and their insertion by consensus in the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action of 1993, 52 - has finally acknowledged the omnipresent violations of women’s rights both in the public and private realms. 53 Both the mentioned Vienna Declaration and Programme fo Action as well as the Action Platform adopted by the IV World Conference of Women in Beijing 1995 54 contributed the barriers faced by women in cultural patterns of behavior in the most different situations and circumstances. 55 66. The travaux préparatoires of the Facultative Protocol to the Convention of 1979 on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) 56 (adopted in 1999), followed by the entry into force, on 12.22.2000, of the mentioned Protocol, came to strengthe the right to individual international petition, considerably expanding, with a gender approach, the circle of people protected, when covering women’s rights as legally demandable. 57 At the same time, the Inter-American Convention to Prevent, Punish, and Eradicate Violence against Women (Convention of Belém do Pará, adopted in 1994), which came into force on 03.05.1995, expressed the conviction that "the elimination of violence against women is a necessary condition for their individual and social development and their complete and equal participation in all the realms of life." 58 67. It has always seemed surprising, if not enigmatic, to me that up to today, more than a decade as of the entry into force of the Convention of Belém do Pará, . For a personal testimony, cf. A.A.

Preámbulo, 5o. considerandum. Said Convention, instead of enshrining new rights, adds the gender analysis. 58
